Champions League: Foreign clubs in France will “in principle” have to respect the vaccination pass

“But the specific competition appendices – still being written – which contain special Covid-related rules for the knockout stage, may provide additional guidance on this,” she said.

The question arises for foreign teams who are going to play European Cup matches in France, where the Ministry of Sports announced on Monday that the future vaccine pass would apply in the stadiums to “everyone, volunteers, to high-level athletes, including from abroad, and until further notice.”

These new regulations could force the English club Chelsea, which plays in Lille on March 16, or the Spaniards of Real Madrid, at Paris SG on February 15, to deprive themselves of their non-vaccinated elements, for these round of 16 of the Champions League.

Also concerned are the Azerbaijanis of FK Qarabag, who go to Marseille on February 17 for the first round of a qualifying round for the final phase of the Conference League.

In England, the Premier League had indicated at the end of December that 16% of players had not received any dose of vaccine.
